Do You Believe There are Aliens?

Although I am well aware of the fact that there are some (hopefully not many) who embrace a belief in some type of life other than mankind present somewhere else within the "universe of universes," however as for me, either God considers me to be the "apple of His eye," or I am nothing more than a mere piece of clay.

Where in the Bible is it to be found that God created other life-forms on some other planet in the vastness of universe? If this were true, then would it not represent deception on His part in concealing such important information from mankind? If it were true that God created some type of living creatures on other planets, then rest assured they were NOT created "in his image," for ONLY mankind bears this unique resemblance to the One who created ALL things!

Oh, come on, now. Because God didn't tell us there is life anywhere else in the universe, than there is no possibility that it exists? Following that logic then, America, Canada and Mexico do not exist, because there is no biblical record for the existence of a continent named North America. Or South America for that matter.

Israel existed because it is mentioned in the Bible. Egypt as well. The "important information" of extra-terrestrail life that you say God is concealing is not so important because, with the distances between galaxies measured in light years, the possiblity of discovering other life forms is zero. Zilch. Nada. So why would God bother telling us about our "neighbors" in another solar system when we have absolutely no chance of ever encountering them?

And we're not necessarily talking about intelligent, humanoid life forms (even though, given the millions if not billions of planets in the universe, there may very well be intelligent beings). It seems somebody has seen too many X Files shows. We're talking about a life form that may be nothing more than a single cell amoeba. Here on earth, we are discovering life forms even to this day that have never been known to exist. Science tells us that with the vastness and complexity of space, the chances of life on other planets is actually quite high. But thats science. Everyone knows science is anti-God, anti-Bible. But that isn't true, either. Science has proven the Bible to be true many times.

We serve a mighty God. He may have done much in the universe that we are not privy to. I do agree that humanity is God's crowning achievement, but, because I can't find the word America in the Bible, I'm not going to deny its existence.

Parts of this discussion remind me of one time a friend & I were sitting at the church discussing lots of different things. We somehow got on the subject of dinosaurs.

The pastor walked by and, hearing our conversation, chimed in asking "You don't believe in dinosaurs do you?"

LOL

I said "well... they kinda... found the bones"

We let it drop as did he. That was probably for the better.

Yes, you're absolutely correct! This discussion, although I did submit my "two cents worth" to it, brings to mind the apostle Paul's words of admonition to Timothy:

"But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing they do gender strife." [II Tim. 2:23]

One could discuss, debate and argue about matters such as this until they "turn blue in the face," and in the final analysis, what is acheived? Absolutely nothing! Thus my final words about this "foolish and unlearned question."

Well said...

In the end... we're all guessing.

Yeah, you're right. It is kinda a dumb thread, isn't it? But, it was interesting...while it lasted.
